Japanese Bizen Ceramic Studio Pottery MATSUI HIROYUKI 松井 宏之 Signed Bottle Vase
My first "confirmed" Bizen piece. I got it at a store in Camarillo after I missed my train (due to rain/flooding, much like what's happening now) last year and had some time to kill. It was decent consolation prize. According to this site (http://www.wakakusa.info/bizen-sign/ka/) it's from 五郎辺衛窯 (ごろべえがま)
